Sorry for delay (to both you and Klaus). I've been away in the US and
only just got back.
Firstly, about the printer models. I don't own either a Stylus Photo
915, nor an R300, which means I can't personally do much about the
problems. If you subscribe to the gimp-print-devel mailing list at
sourceforge.net
(https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gimp-print-devel), you
will be able to ask the developers directly--it's likely this will be
rather quicker than for me acting as a go-between). However, see below
before you do this:
All of the Epson printers which gimp-print supported should continue to
work in gutenprint. So, the developers will be interested in fixing any
problems with particular printers which don't work.
Klaus: you will need to set LogLevel to debug in cupsd.conf, restart
cups and then look at the log file after printing a file. It should
show you what's going wrong. Just send the whole log to this bug
address if you're unsure.
Bernard: the same applies here, but from your mail, the device URI:
Device URI: epson:/dev/usb/lp0
looks wrong. The "epson" backend should be replaced by the "usb"
backend. You can do this by editing /etc/cups/printers.conf and
restarting cups, or by modifying the printer in the web interface.
Regards,
Roger
